Shadow Rock-Gold Key Neighborhood Association

Painting T-bird Wall starting May 18th Volunteers Needed!

Apr 29, 2007

April painting project update:

With the help of volunteers: Janet, Gabe, Wayne, Phil, Ron and myself the beginning of the project got started. We were able to trim the vegetation cutting it back to a more appropriate length clearing the Thunderbird wall and the sidewalk area. The trimmings were collected and placed for the city quarterly yard pickup. The overall appearance of just cleaning up the sidewalk area and cutting back on the overgrowth made a very big improvement from driving by there several times myself this weekend. I was very impressed with all the work that was given by those who volunteered. They started at 6am and worked for 2 ?½ to 3 hours on Saturday morning April 25th.

Now is the important information. We MUST have more volunteers for the painting job that is coming up and planned for the 3rd weekend in May. We will start washing the wall on Friday May 18th. On Saturday and Sunday May 19th and 20th we will have the Thunderbird wall painted. It is too much to expect from these 6 people to continue this project without MORE volunteers! This is YOUR neighborhood also, and each of us must take pride in how it looks. Please set aside your personal duties and other chores for this weekend and help out with this neighborhood effort.

We are scheduled for 6am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday May 18th ~ 20th. Volunteers will need to arrive as soon as they can. Most of the work will be a joint effort in moving the garden hose to wash the wall, helping to move plastic covers from one location to another in an effort to protect the plants from the over spray; and assisting in moving the paint buckets and sprayer from point to point until the area is done. There will be a cleanup needed in removing plastic and cardboard from the area insuring that everything is picked up.
